Facebook the world.Since the beginning social networking sites, like Facebook has attracted several types of users, and in most cases, these people have incorporated these websites into their daily practices. While some sites support existing relationships, others help creating new relationships in different interests such as political views, religious, activities or even just gaming! While supporting Facebook on society is beneficial, one can find several factors that go against it, such as cyber bulling.

...﻿ There are several advantages and disadvantages to using socialmedia in general. First, I’ll go over some of the advantages that I’ve noticed in it. It’s a quick convenient way to keep in contact with family and friends. Through instant messaging and various other tools given on the site you are able to chat with and share your life events with them. Another is that you can meet new people in an environment that is safer than some of the bar scenes and such. With it being a controlled environment you are able to look for people that have similar interests to see if you can mesh with to become friends. This makes it easier for people who are slightly socially awkward to be able meet people in a less socially intimate environment.
Now for the flip side of the coin with the disadvantages. People aren’t able to learn how to be in group setting with other people in real life if all they use is social networking. This puts them at major disadvantages in things such as interviews and other things since they aren’t used to having the human factor involved in things. Another, is that your posts and such have to meet certain criteria and with some sites that criteria is in a constant state of fluctuation making it harder to know what is acceptable and what isn’t.

Pros of Social Networking
Today’s students are increasingly using social networking as a means to communicate.

Seventy-five percent of teenagers own cell phones--25 percent use them for socialmedia, 54 percent use them for texting, and 24 percent use them for instant messaging. (O’Keefe 2011) With these statistics in mind, educators looking to engage students in an already challenging curriculum, search for ways to connect a student’s learning experience to what has become a huge force in their young lives.

...Impact of SocialMedia on Society
Introduction to socialmediaSocialmedia refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, exchange and comment contents among themselves in virtual communities and networks. Socialmedia or "social networking" has almost become part of our daily lives and being tossed around over the past few years. It is like any other media such as newspaper, radio and television but it is far more than just about sharing information and ideas. Social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Blogs have facilitated creation and exchange of ideas so quickly and widely than the conventional media. The power of define and control a brand is shifting from corporations and institutions to individuals and communities. It is no longer on the 5Cs (e.g. condominium, credit cards and car) that people once talked about. Today, it is about the brand new Cs: creativity, communication, connection, creation (of new ideas and products), community (of shared interests), collaboration and (changing the game of) competition.
Socialmedia has devalued the traditional definition of "friend" where it means trust, support, compatible values, etc. Although we get to know more people, we are not able to build strong bond...

With a mounting 1.6 billion active Facebook members as of 2013, aside from Google Facebook is the most popular website in America (Smith, 2013). Online communities such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are not the only thing distracting the populous. Cell phones, mobile applications and interactive gaming are just a few examples of socialmedia in the 21st century. One can't help but wonder what kind of effects relentless participation in socialmedia will have on our body and our mind. Our future generations are being conditioned to wake up and text until they fall back asleep. Children are spending more hours a day interacting with electronics than spending time with their family or engaging in physical activities (Hutton, 2013). Studies are proving kids growing up spending this amount of time engulfed in social-media results in less participation in the classroom and lowered grades (Hutton, 2013). Teenagers are more likely to become involved with dangerous activities such as drug abuse, drinking and sexual activity (Frank, 2010).

Socialmedia nowadays plays a huge part in society. We use it to blog, wiki, listen to podcasts, communicate, share photos, and we use it for entertainment. Facebook is one of the largest and most popular social networking sites on the internet with over 604 million active users as of September 30,2012 (Olanoff). In other words, it’s gotten pretty huge since its launch in 2004. Overall, Facebook and socialmedia influence cyber bullying, lack of productivity, addiction, isolation, an absence of privacy, and a false sense of connection.
One way socialmedia –especially Facebook- negatively impacts us is it gives us a false sense of connection. Cornell University’s Steven Strogatz states “socialmedia sites can make it more difficult for us to distinguish between the meaningful relationships we foster in the real world, and the numerous casual relationships formed through socialmedia. By focusing so much of our time and psychic energy on these less meaningful relationships, our most important connections, will weaken” (Jung). What this statement suggests is that instead of having a meaningful conversation with someone, we now communicate through 30 character emotionless status updates. Posting a status or sending a message is not the same as talking to someone face to face. The text that is...
